Summary: A -must- for your Tolkien collection
Comment: With over a dozen artists, this book provides a great diversity in the way Tolkien's works are visualized. From the intense detail of Alan Lee and Ted Nasmith to the graceful brush strokes of Cor Blok, this book is a must-have!

Rating: 5
Summary: Marvelous
Comment: I have read The Hobbit and all of The Lord Of The Rings books twice. I did visualize the land masses and characters of Tolkiens Middle-Earth very well. But if you buy Realms Of Tolkien you will find that many artists have had good thoughts upon Middle-Earths orcs , trolls , elves , ents , hobbits , men and land mass. So if you are about to read The Hobbit , The Lord Of The Rings , or even The Silmarillion then I suggest that you buy this book to visualize pictures from this book to Tolkiens world. Among the artists who have painted pictures in this book are Alan Lee , John Howe , and Ted Nasmith who are wonderful artists in this book Realms Of Tolkien.

Rating: 3
Summary: An unfortunate mix of wonderful and horrible
Comment: There are some excellant illustrations by Nasmith, Howe, Lee and others which leap out of the page at you and bring the Middle Earth to life. Other images must have been chosen from children's editions of the Tolkien books and look like something the kids brought home from school art class currently hanging on the front of the refridgerator. I don't know what politically correct art chic caused the editors to feel that had to balance the beauty with the crud, but it created a truely unfortunate blend of imagery. It's an OK coffee table book for the Tolkien fan, but it could have been so much better if the editors had used their power to create a book of outstanding illustrations, rather than a collection representing all illustrators, even the artistically challenged ones.
